1. The problem asks to find 10% of 1500. 2. The formula to find a percentage of a number is: $$\text{Percentage value} = \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} \times \text{Total value}$$ 3. Here, the percentage is 10 and the total value is 1500. 4. Substitute the values into the formula: $$\text{Percentage value} = \frac{10}{100} \times 1500$$ 5. Simplify the fraction: $$\text{Percentage value} = \frac{\cancel{10}}{\cancel{100}} \times 1500 = \frac{1}{10} \times 1500$$ 6. Multiply: $$\text{Percentage value} = \frac{1}{10} \times 1500 = 150$$ 7. Therefore, 10% of 1500 is 150.
